“An amazing work that speaks to us across 2500 years [to] open up new and precious insights into the depths of Buddhist history and thought.”—Mountain Record

“Bhikkhu Bodhi is a brilliant translator.”—Jack Kornfield, author of After the Ecstasy, the Laundry

“Venerable Bhikkhu Bodhi...has produced an authoritative and lucid rendition that will quickly become the standard English version and is likely to remain so for many generations. Into one massive volume he has packed not simply a splendidly readable translation of the suttas of the Aṅguttara Nikāya, but a fine introduction, over 270 pages of erudite notes, and a number of useful appendices, making his work an indispensable resource for the study of the Buddha’s word for scholars and practitioners alike. This is a major contribution to Buddhist scholarship.”—Paul Harrison, professor of Religious Studies at Stanford University and a member of the Khyentse Foundation Prize Selection Committee
